The Federal
Government has paid 45 per cent of the entitlements of workers of the
Nigerian Telecommunications Limited, the National Union of Postal and
Telecommunications Employees (NUPTE) has said.
Sunday Alhassan,
president of NUPTE, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on
Tuesday that the entitlements included outstanding salaries.
Mr. Alhassan said
that the government had also given an assurance that it would pay the
remaining 55 per cent of the entitlements in May.
He said that the government paid the entitlements in December, 2010,
although some affected workers did not see their money in time due to
the inability of their banks to promptly credit their accounts.
